Having planned his development policy, Chihiro focused his attention on the prestige value and the twin swords: flatfish.
Mass Deployment!
"System, consume the elite-grade Recruitment Item, twin swords: flatfish, to recruit an Elite Troop Type!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting the Sixth Division Lieutenant, Abarai Renji!"
A flash of purple light appeared.
A man with bright red hair tied into a spiky ponytail walked out.
"Sixth Division Lieutenant Abarai Renji pays respects to Lord Spirit King!"
[Abarai Renji]
[Strength: vice-captain level]
[Position: Sixth Division Lieutenant]
[Ability: Zanpakuto: Zabimaru]
Another gold drop!
It seems my luck is good today.
Chihiro planned to use the remaining prestige value to recruit enough Regular Troop Types to form a patrol team.
This would prevent enemies from invading the Uzushigakure' surrounding areas.
"System, consume six thousand prestige value to randomly recruit thirty Regular Troop Types."
A plain white light flashed.
Thirty team members appeared.
Chihiro glanced at them, feeling no surprise.
However, they were still somewhat different from the Regular Troop Types summoned before.
The previous batch basically only knew Hakuda and swordsmanship, and weren't even proficient.
While this batch also had those skills, a very few individuals had also mastered some simple Kido and Bakudo.
This should be related to the consumed prestige value. Although they were all Regular Troop Types, the strength of a 100 prestige value troop and a 999 prestige value troop would definitely not be the same.
"For the remaining eighteen thousand, I'll spend six thousand prestige value each to summon three Advanced Troop Types."
This time, the System's light turned blue again, which made Chihiro feel a bit speechless.
It felt like playing a gacha game in the Ninja World.
Chihiro checked the information of the three Advanced Troop Types.
[Gori Takekatsu]
[Strength: Sekikan-level]
[Position: Third Division Fifth Seat]
[Ability: Zanpakuto · Torafue]
...[Togakure Rikuu]
[Strength: Sekikan-level]
[Position: Third Division Third Seat]
[Ability: Zanpakuto · Haruchiri]
...[Katakura Asuka]
[Strength: Sekikan-level]
[Position: Third Division Sixth Seat]
[Ability: Zanpakuto · Katakage]
Chihiro: "..."
All three Advanced Troop Types were Sekikan from the Third Division.
Then, he would first assemble the Third Division.
And then have the Third Division temporarily undertake patrol missions.
An emergency reserve team, after all, goes wherever it's needed.
After handing the summoned troops over to Ichimaru Gin to fill out his Third Division,
Chihiro went to find Rukia to learn Kido.
Since he also possessed Spiritual Pressure, he naturally had to Cultivate it.
A few days later, Chihiro made rapid progress.
He wondered if it was due to the feedback from mass recruitment.
Even his Aptitude had received a bit of feedback.
In short, in just a few days, Chihiro's Zankenshō had improved by one Rank.
Even Rukia was very surprised.
"It's a pity I don't have an asauchi, otherwise, I might even be able to Awaken my own Zanpakuto."
Chihiro was a bit expectant; he really wanted to know what kind of Zanpakuto he would Awaken.
Rukia suggested, "Lord Spirit King, the Shino Academy provides asauchi to incoming students every year. If Lord Spirit King wants one, you can go to the Shino Academy to take a look."
Chihiro: "..."
This was indeed a way to obtain an asauchi.
The problem was, the Shino Academy hadn't been unlocked yet.
Speaking of which, Chihiro thought of the Rukongai that had been unlocked a few days ago.
Currently, some unfamiliar faces had appeared in the Rukongai.
Because people were dying every day in the Ninja World, the Rukongai had become lively in just a few days.
However, they were all ordinary Souls, without the Aptitude to become Shinigami.
Chihiro had also observed them carefully.
He found that most of these departed Souls were unconscious and had forgotten their memories from when they were alive.
This point was quite good.
At the same time.
In the Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village finally felt that something was wrong.
Why had the squad sent to the Uzushigakure not reported back?
Thus, the Third Mizukage arranged for a team of Anbu Ninja to go to the Uzushigakure to investigate the situation.
A few days later, the Hidden Mist Assassination Special Forces had not even landed before they were discovered by the patrolling Third Division members.
"Enemy invasion! Quickly go inform the Sekikan-sama!"
"No need, we're here."
Gori Takekatsu, Togakure Rikuu, and Katakura Asuka arrived at the coast immediately.
Their sharp gazes fixed on the Ninja running across the sea surface.
At the same time, the Hidden Mist Anbu squad also discovered the patrol team dressed in black shinigami uniforms on the Uzushigakure and immediately stopped their advance.
"There's no Chakra fluctuation, are they samurai?"
The only Ninja in the Hidden Mist Anbu squad who possessed Perception Ninjutsu shared the intelligence.
The Anbu squad leader asked, "Can you sense Jonin Sato's Chakra?"
The perception Ninja shook his head and said, "There are no other Chakra fluctuations within my perception range. Jonin Sato might be in the interior of the Uzushigakure?"
The Anbu leader did not speak.
But he already had an answer in his heart.
Something had changed in the Uzushigakure, and a group of people from other forces had appeared.
Given Jonin Sato's personality, a fight would have already broken out.
Now, standing here were these samurai, which meant that Jonin Sato was likely in grave danger.
However, these samurai without Chakra surely couldn't be Jonin Sato's opponents.
Which meant there were others behind them.
The Anbu leader pondered for a moment and gave up on the decision to land.
They were only here to investigate the situation, not to avenge Sato.
However, leaving just like that wouldn't yield effective information.
It would be best to capture one of those samurai and bring them back to the village.
A group of samurai without Chakra was not something he took seriously.
They only needed to be careful of the people behind them.
"Kiri Tengu."
The called Anbu showed perfect coordination, forming hand seals.
"Ninjutsu · Hidden Mist Jutsu!"
As the most basic Ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Assassination Special Forces,
Kiri Tengu's proficiency with the Hidden Mist Jutsu had almost reached its peak.
Although there was still some distance between them and Gori Takekatsu and the others, the mist spread extremely quickly, enveloping the Shinigami on the coast in a short amount of time.
Having gained a favorable environment, the Hidden Mist Anbu squad immediately employed their signature Silent Killing Jutsu.
"Throat, eyes, heart..."
A low voice filled with Killing Intent echoed in the mist, placing immense pressure on the ordinary squad members.
It was as if a blade was tracing their bodies, considering where to strike first.
But this method of psychological pressure was useless against the Sekikan.
Gori Takekatsu picked at his itchy ear and said impatiently, "Stop your chattering, you're deafening!"
The next moment, his Zanpakuto was drawn!
"Sound the blast, Torafue!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!
After Gori Takekatsu activated his Zanpakuto's Shikai, it transformed into a large saber with three small circular holes on the blade.
Gori Takekatsu swung it hard, and airflow passed through the holes.
"Roar!!"
A deafening tiger roar pierced through the dense mist!
The heads of all the Hidden Mist Anbu members buzzed, causing splitting headaches.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this!!"
Before he could recover, Gori Takekatsu swung again.
The Hidden Mist Anbu Captain roared, "Cover your ears!!"
"Roar!!"
The deafening tiger roar sounded again.
Ripples surged through the air, surprisingly forming a gigantic tiger head.
The tiger head opened its huge mouth and let out a single roar, instantly scattering the entire expanse of mist!
Seeing this, the Hidden Mist Anbu Captain immediately gave the order.
"We lack sufficient intelligence on the enemy. Retreat immediately!"
As soon as he spoke, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and fled toward the sea.
"You think you can come and go as you please? What do you take the Uzushigakure for?"
